Sailing and angling in Waddenland
Ahoy! Waddenland features plenty of lovely spots for sailing and angling. Venture out into a UNESCO World Heritage Site or meander through the Groningen countryside. The best adventures are to be had on the water, and this certainly applies to Groningen.
The Wadden Sea
The Wadden Sea is one of those special areas of Groningen. It developed during the last Ice Age and is home to a large variety of special animal species. It’s the perfect habitat of various bird species, seals and fish species. Set sail on the foaming waves to see if a curious seal will come and check out what’s going on. An expedition of the Wadden Sea is a guaranteed unforgettable experience.

Lauwersmeer Lake
Instead of venturing out onto the rough waters of the Wadden Sea from the village of Lauwersoog, you might opt for a cruise on the fresh water of the Lauwersmeer Lake. These waters open up to a wonderful scenic area. The Lauwersmeer Lake features various marinas, where you can moor for a short stop. If you plan on staying a bit longer, use one of the recreational landings as your home base.

Zoutkamp
Until 1960, the village of Zoutkamp was an important fishing port, but lost this position after the Lauwerszee was closed off. With its historic locks and frequently used ancient inland harbour, this has by no means affected the village’s ambiance. Come to Zoutkamp for a lovely afternoon of sailing and fishing.

Reitdiep
The Reitdiep canal meanders through the Groningen countryside between the Lauwersmeer Lake and the city of Groningen. The Reitdiep is one of the oldest man-made landscapes in Europe and once formed the connection between Groningen and the open sea. From your gently bobbing boat, take in the old river beds, such as around the Oude Diepje near Winsum. Many areas around the Reitdiep have found another purpose as a scenic area.
Marenland
Marenland Recreatie is located at a lovely spot where you can spend time by the water near the friendly village of Winsum. Hire a canoe or other boat to explore the lovely environs; you’ll immediately see why the village has once been proclaimed the most beautiful village in the Netherlands. You should know that from Winsum you can sail much further into the Groningen countryside if you wish. Naturally, there are other great ways to spend time by the water. Plop down at the De Jongens Uit De Buurt outdoor café, or spend the night in a hiker’s hut by the water.
